We consider the (Rényi) mutual information,, of distant compact spatial regions A and B in the vacuum state of a free scalar field. The distance r between A and B is much greater than their sizes R A, B. It is known that. We obtain the direct expression offor arbitrary regions A and B. We perform the analytical continuation of n and obtain the mutual information. The direct expression is useful for the numerical computation. By using the direct expression, we can compute directly I (A, B) without computing S A, S B and S A∪ B respectively, so it reduces significantly the amount of computation.
